Please be aware of the following notice issued in the bulletin for May 2010 “Family-sponsored: During the past fifteen months, the level of demand for numbers in the Family-sponsored preference categories has been very low. As a result, the cut-off dates for most Family preference categories have been advancing at a very rapid pace, in an attempt to generate demand so that the annual numerical limits may be fully utilized. If demand for numbers should begin to materialize cut-off date movements may begin to slow or stop.”
@F2A

To All Friends Who Are Waiting for the Process to End Soon:
I just received some emails from friends on this forum asking about my status. I had my interview on Jan. 27, 2010 which is Four Months and Eight Days from now. Everything was perfect on the interview. I was only required to go through the Clearance part. I have still received no answer. This process varies from person to person and there is no specified order which you can predict. There are people who get answer in the first week and there are people who wait for a year. I have seen both. And there are some people who are not required to go through this process. Sorry that I do not follow you on this forum since 4 months ago. The reason is that I am totally out of patience and every single piece of patience I had, has been spent during the past 10 years that I have been waiting. Anyways, if you have any specific question, I will try to answer.
@Pooyan
my brother don’t worry God is Good you will get through, I got through, I waited 9 years and about 2 months. Don’t give up hope, my main concern was my daughter, and she got through, so your time is coming soon, be Bless
it’s seems nobody here sicne last month ,
by the way i have good news for F3 category seems to move fast , my friend got her interview date for august 2010 and her PD is 01 Dec 2001 ,
moving 3 months .
Hey all. Good to see the site back up – someone need to do something about the constant outage. Anyway, i went on my interview on June 21. i was told that all is well but, like all others in Jamaica, i will have to submit a new police record/certificate dated after June 14. crap!
@RallyG
Great news! Sorry to hear abt the police certificate…I applied for mine on June 1, good thing I deided on the regular (30 day) service, rather than the express (3 day), otherwise the same thing would have happened to me…I collected mine on June 14, and sent off my civil documents to NVC the following day…hopefully my dad sends the AOS soon, so I can get an interview date.
Rally…did you have to take an original police certificate to the interview as well?
@Sweets
No. you don’t have to take original. As long as the Visa center has it you are good. When you get the interview letter it will tell you exactly what to take along with you. The usual documents are passport, medical package, pictures and interview letter (page 1)
I don’t know if u all understand abt Pooyan…He was successful, and received his visa. He told me this in an email on June 17, and said he would have left in 2 weeks, so he is heading to the US just abt now…
Hi every body , i have question ,plz answer me as soon as possible .
my friend (F3) Pd :01 dec 2001 got her interview letter for 5th of august ,a good news for F3 , but she has a 40 days babygirl,
anybody knows what happend to her interview if she tell them that she has a new born baby?
@sarah
Dear Sara, don’t be worry. That would be enough to bring the sweet baby and her birth certificate to interview.
On the website of the US Embassy in Ankara has written to Iranian applicants: “Family members who are not already part of one file are encouraged to come for their interviews at the same time”.
I think that means it is possible for anybody other than Iranians also to add at the interview any family member who’s name hasn’t been included to main applicants case.
@AB
And i would completely agree with you if it wasn’t for the 245i, which started on january 01 and ended in april 01. So thats why Im thinking it might delay.
245i applies to all categories of people (family and employment based). So, there is no need to be pessimistic about just F4 or any other category alone. Also, since a person has to be present in the US on or before December 21, 2000, you can not assume all or most petitions were made around April. Some people, I would assume, had petitions dated earlier than that which means they must have visas available to them and still the VB was moving fast in the last few months.
So, I think there is room for optimism
=======================================================================
The New 245(i) Amendment allows some aliens who are out of status, who entered the U.S. without inspection, or who have violated the terms of their non-immigrant visa to apply for adjustment of status after their immigration petitions are approved. To be eligible to take advantage of 245(i), the person must meet the following requirements:
1. Physically present in the United States on December 21, 2000;
2. An immigration petition or a labor certificate application is filed for the benefit of the Alien on or before April 30, 2001;
3. The immigration petition or the labor certification application must be approvable at the time of filing. (It means that the application is good on its face); and
4. Paying a $1,000 penalty at the time of filing I-485.

@AB

@Emet
Hopefully yours will be current in sept VB.
@AB
And i would completely agree with you if it wasn’t for the 245i, which started on january 01 and ended in april 01. So thats why Im thinking it might delay.
F4 prediction – 15 April 2001!
CONGRATULATONS TO MT2644… good luck on your interview,August 15,2010.
